US Under Attack – That’s OK with Republicans
During a congressional hearing yesterday, director of national intelligence Dan Coats testified that the “United States is under attack by the Russians to meddle in the 2018 elections after their successful meddling in the 2016 election. The White House and congressional Republicans are silent on any action that could prevent (or at least disrupt) these efforts. Why? That’s easy. The Russians are working to help the Republicans stay in power even though their voter base is shrinking. You can be sure that if a foreign country, say Kenya, was conducting regular cyber attacks on the US to help Barack Obama stay in office, we would be bombing Nairobi right now. Since this unprecedented attack on US sovereignty is helping them, Trump and Republicans are more than happy to allow it to continue.
That’s called, at the minimum gross negligence. What it really is? Treason.
